Food: The two Fat Ladies.
Wiki:

Clarissa and Jennifer
The show centered on Clarissa Dickson Wright and Jennifer Paterson, travelling the United Kingdom on a Triumph Thunderbird driven by Paterson. Wright rode in the sidecar as they travelled to various destinations, such as an army camp or an all-girls' school, where they would prepare large meals, often with unusual ingredients. Both ladies were very fond of strong flavours, and would often use things like anchovies, garlic, and various herbs and spices quite liberally. The recipes were gleaned from an older time and tradition when ingredients like rendered fat and drippings were used as well as raw eggs and unpasteurized milk products. They emphasized the importance of using fresh ingredients of the very best quality, avoiding supermarkets for farms and roadside markets.
Jennifer Paterson died in 1999 of lung cancer in England at the age of 71. She asked for caviar for her last meal, but died before she could eat it. The show ended after her death.
